New ICU score could help doctors spot sicker patients faster
NCT ID NCT07338240
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new scoring system called SOFA-2, which measures organ failure in critically ill patients in intensive care units (ICUs). Researchers will follow 5,200 adults in Turkish ICUs and calculate their scores using routine lab results and vital signs. The goal is to see if SOFA-2 predicts who will survive better than the current scoring method. No extra tests or treatments are given—this is purely an observation to improve how doctors assess severity.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could give doctors a more accurate tool to assess how sick ICU patients are and predict their chances of survival.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The new score may not prove better than the existing one, and results may not apply outside Türkiye.
